What’s New in SAS Federation Server LIBNAME Engine in
SAS 9.4
Overview
The DataFlux Federation Server has been renamed to SAS Federation Server, and the
SAS LIBNAME engine for the
server has a new name. The LIBNAME engine now uses DSNs to establish a
data source connection. A new system option is supported with the engine. A new LIBNAME option
is also available.
New Product and Documentation Names
The product name of
the DataFlux Federation Server has changed to SAS Federation Server
as part of the company’s recent integration of DataFlux products
into the SAS suite of data quality, data integration, data governance,
and master data management solutions.
As a result, SAS
LIBNAME Engine for DataFlux Federation Server: User’s Guide has
been retitled as SAS LIBNAME Engine for SAS Federation Server: User’s Guide. Also, DataFlux Federation Server: Administrator’s
Guide has been retitled as SAS Federation Server: Administrator’s Guide.
The name of the SAS
LIBNAME engine for SAS Federation Server is now FEDSVR.
Data Source Connection
The LIBNAME engine no longer supports fully specified data source connection arguments
in the LIBNAME statement. In order to connect to a data
source with the LIBNAME engine, you must specify a
DSN definition.
System Option
SQLUNDOPOLICY
Specifies how PROC
SQL handles updated data if errors occur while you are updating data. A
DBMS that processes one statement per connection can significantly improve processing
performance by setting SQLUNDOPOLICY=NONE.
For
more information, see SQLUNDOPOLICY= System Option.
LIBNAME Option
Beginning with the fourth
maintenance release of SAS 9.4, a new LIBNAME option is supported
with the engine.
